Not looking to change out the ball joint. Just wondering if its a good idea or not to tap them for grease fittings so they can be re-greased and in return last longer.

The ball joins [on E60] are not designed/intended for grease fitting. They are factory sealed with grease inside. If the boot is torn, you'll have to replace.
IMHO, it's not worth spending time/money/energy on trying to alter the ball joints to fit a grease fitting.
